Brainscan Zine #31

"I've lived in Portland, Oregon since 1999. I was 22 when I moved here and I turn 37 this summer. This city has seen me grow and change and become more myself. I've called other cities 'home". My first 10 years were spent in Texas, the next 12 in Utah. I've written about both Utah and Oregon as home, but something has changed recently."

This zine was completed for the 2014 Chicago Zine Fest. It explores the concept of family, growing up and into ourselves and making our own home. I reflect on the years I have lived here and how me and the city of Portland have changed over the past 15 years and how running a brick and mortar shop that sells zines fits into that.
